LIVING AND WORKING AT FLAGG RANCH

Is Flagg Ranch employment right for you?

Escape to the mountains for a summer adventure of work and fun you'll never forget!

We are looking for the type of employee whose satisfaction comes from the knowledge that he or she has made a special contribution towards the success of a visitor. If you are someone who loves working with people, willing to learn, flexible and willing to help out anywhere and anytime, then Flagg Ranch may just be the place for you.  At Flagg Ranch our pay scale is competitive and comparable with other resorts.  Prospective employees should be aware that due to the nature of the business, specific positions and set working periods may not be available and may vary over the course of the season.

Living & Working at Flagg Ranch

There is plenty to do during your employment term. Visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks will undoubtedly be the first on your list of “things to do.”

 Our summer activities that are available to employees include: interpretive tours through Yellowstone & Grand Teton; horseback riding on our scenic woodland trails; or you may wish to take a scenic boat “float” trip where you gently float down the Snake River with a splendid view of the northernmost tip of the Tetons. All activities are subject to availablity. Wildlife such as buffalo, elk, deer, coyotes, and bears are common guests around Flagg Ranch and around both parks. Beware, they are wild and never should be fed or approached too closely.

The nearest town is 55 miles away, the town of Jackson Hole, which offers plenty of social activities. There you will find shops, restaurants, and other opportunities to further explore this beautiful area you can call your home for the summer.

There is also an employee Rec Hall which provides a ping pong table, pool table, fooseball table, satalite TV & DVD player, dart board, and computers with satalite internet. You may also enjoy camping in the surrounding woods. We offer a 20% discount at our onsite gift shop, grocery store, and restaurant.

If working and living in the spectacular scenery of the mountain region isn’t enough, think of the opportunity to form friendships which could last a lifetime.
